According to Jye, seems like the boys are heading to the US again this year, with a slight tweak.

No matter what happens over the next fortnight, Caldwell said the players’ desire to get better will include another post-season conditioning trip to the US.

Around 20 Essendon players funded their own trip to the Exos training facility in Scottsdale, Arizona, last November in an effort to get better.

“That trip was awesome … we had about 20-odd guys working together on getting better,” Caldwell said.

“We are going over again … a few of the boys are going to Exos (the training facility in Scottsdale, Arizona) … but a few of us (instead) are going to use some contacts in the (US) college (system) to get in some training over there. We just want to keep getting better.”

Pffft. What a waste. They could do the same thing at Deakin.

but it’s america, they’re better than us!

They could be spending it on an island in Hawaii but aren't. Instead they're spending it bonding for the main purpose of trying new things in terms of fitness.

The frequency and history of elite trainers/programs is also higher in a country with over 300 million people compared to us. The Olympics medal tally speaks for itself. Really the only opportunity any player would have to tap into that is during the off-season/before the pre-season.

Any good deals on at Falls Creek, yaco55 ?

You could have said Mildura . At least they would be getting 5 hours out of Melbourne.

Reports he's in for a hip clean up in coming weeks

He might be the surprise packet to elevate his game to the top tier (or close enough to) next season. I liked what I saw this year and further opportunity in the CBA mix will only improve that even more.
